Statements that the program is intended for Latinx/Hispanic individuals 'clearly signal to non-Latinx/Hispanic students that they are not eligible and need not apply.... Here, any reasonable person would understand that all students are not welcome to participate in the Haas Thrive Fellows program.
“Latinx/Hispanic” Only Program At UC Berkeley Haas Business School Challenged By Equal Protection Project
Participants in the Haas Thrive Fellows program attend monthly meetings at which they receive, among other things, free GMAT or GRE preparation, information on graduate business admissions and financial aid, networking opportunities and “ulturally relevant programming addressing the unique needs of Latinx/Hispanics in management and leadership in the US.”4
We then go on to explain the law and how such a program violates both Title VI and the 14th Amendment. Cornell Law professor William A. Jacobson founded the EPP to ensure fair treatment of all people without regard to race or ethnicity – and he feels Berkeley is being unfair to non-Hispanic students. The complaint, which has been obtained by Fox News Digital, details that the Haas Thrive Fellows program is to “educate, prepare, and motivate Latinx/Hispanic individuals” to apply and succeed at a top business school.
“At every level, by policy the university rejects discrimination. UC-Berkeley and Haas should live up to their own set of rules. Sending a message to students that access to opportunities is dependent on race and ethnicity is damaging to the fabric of campus,” Jacobson said.
